Everyone needs all-knowing Superman to teach them A LESSON once in a while

From my first/only post on s_d 1.0:

Sorry, Mr. Barger-- but it's not POLITE to eat in front of company!

	Is that a rock he is eating? Superman is surely only thinking of his dentist bills! SuperNICE-ERY! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Looks like some sort of sugar bun or pastry, judging by the cup of coffee on the man's desk. Almost certainly it's poisoned and Superman is saving the guy's life. The real amusing touch here is that the man is named "Barger" but his office is being intruded upon by a real barger... although I doubt the writer intended that irony. (Reply to this)

	20 minutes into Superman's lecture on manners, Mr. Barger collapsed. Diabetes is a silent killer. (Reply to this)

	Sometimes I wish there were an alternate universe where Superman IS the Superdick from all those comic covers. (Reply to this)

	I want to think it's a yam. Mr. Barger has a secret yam allergy. And/or Superman really likes yams. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The funny thing is, you're half right. It's a bomb... which Superman eats, and it explodes in his stomach, IIRC. He's even got this goofy "mm, tasty" look on his face. Just like Ma's home cookin' apparently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Get out. Superman eats it? That's so crazy to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think he did that several times. There's also a story from the seventies where, after all the kryptonite in the world has become harmless, a criminal who hasn't heard tries using kryptonite to stop Superman and he eats it in front of the criminal, saying "not bad, could use a little salt."

In the 1950s ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN show, George Reeves grabs some explosive serum and drinks it to protect everyone. After it explodes in his stomach, he's not hurt but he does look unhappy and maybe dyspeptic. Later, when he finds another sample of the explosive, Reeves mumbles "Oh no, not again," and orders everyone out of the room rather than get another episode of heartburn.

	Doesn't look like a yam to me. Looks more like some sort of pastry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It doesn't seem likely that a businessman would be at his desk with a cup of coffee and a yam first thing in the morning. (But then, we've all seen the inexplicable in comics.) (Reply to this) (Parent)
